New York TimesPaper Towns review by Manchla Dargis

Teenage angst has been a lucrative movie racket for years, but what happens when the kids are pretty much all right? Not a whole lot, at least in Paper Towns, a serenely bland adaptation of the John Green young-adult novel.

[Nat Wolff] comes off exactly like the Hollywood up-and-comer he is, and is finally as out of place in this world as Ms Delevingne is.

The Guardian (UK)Paper Towns review by Peter Bradshaw

There’s laughter, good music, hooking up (Ben has long pined for Lacey) and, eventually, the realisation that this trip is altogether ludicrous. But get good teen actors in a car with some dialogue a cut above the usual tripe, and it can’t help but be compelling.

There is, however, a bit of a snag with the casting. Cara Delevingne doesn’t quite nail the spontaneous, centre-of-gravity figure that the movie sells her as. Moreover, Nat Wolff, admittedly playing something of a square, is a bit dry on screen.
